I'm sleeping...just kidding, I'm awake!

Well, yesterday I started back to work part time. I will do two weeks of part time (only two days a week) and then start full time on September 13.

I will elaborate more in a different post, but Grant is just not a sleeper. We were spoiled with Jenna, who was practically sleeping through the night by the time I went back to work.

So, yesterday was his first day in the infant room at daycare. I tried to warn the teachers, without scaring them, that Grant isnt' a big sleeper, he spits up a ton, and is fussy. I bet they were excited right?! They said, "Don't worry, he'll be fine." I said back, "I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about you!"

So, I called a couple times during the day and they would find something positive to say to me, like, "He's eating good." They even texted me a picture of him, which was so appreciated. When I got there to pick him up this is what his sheet says about his sleep times:

9:10 - 9:15

10:25 - 10:35

11:00 - 11:10

12:55 - 1:15

1:40 - 1:50

I just started laughing, he had to be EXHAUSTED and overstimulated. Less than an hour of sleep the WHOLE day! The kid does not sleep good at all unless he is held, and they just can't hold him all day. They also have to follow all the State rules, so no tummy sleeping, no blankets, not even a sleep positioner. So, I fear it will take quite a long time for Grant to sleep better at daycare and at home.

This blog is about our crazy life (creative title huh?) and my two wonderful kiddos. In the midst of a busy life I'm trying to be better at capturing moments, quotes, and embarrasing stories for my kids Jenna and Grant.

I'm a lucky lady with a great husband, family, and friends. I'm a professional working, grad school attending, Bravo TV watching, domestically challenged almost 30 something!

Sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
